I had a nice surprise coming back from our skiing holidays: my TOBY AWARDS trophies were waiting for me at the post office!

Well, it can't be more official than this. Yes, it is true, I won two Industry's Choice TOBY Awards!

My two winners:

SIBERIA - Small Friends category

PANTAGRUEL - Large Friends category

I really feel very happy and proud!
The winners will go on to become the nominees for this year's TOBY Public's Choice Awards, voted on by Teddy Bear & Friends
readers. Look for photos of the nominees, ballot, and online voting
instructions in the May 2015 issue of Teddy Bear & Friends,
available in March.
I can't wait!

I've been wanting to create another puppy for some time now. The problem with designing a puppy is that there are so many extra cute breeds that I would like to make, that I literally get stuck. I'm forever adding new pictures of gorgeous puppies in my Pinterest folder and when I go to it for inspiration, I just can't choose. Last December I finally told myself I would simply choose with my heart. I had a couple of pictures of supercute doxies that really tug at my heart.
I started the new year with this dachshund puppy project, and it's been so fun! My family, and the people who know my personal tastes when it comes to dog breeds were quite surprised by the choice, as I am a terrier lover. well, the time for more terriers will come, but really, how can you resist a cute, super cute doxie puppy?
Here is the result of all my efforts, little Baxter!
